How to check if input date is equal to today's date?

Question

I have a form input with an id of \'date_trans\'. The format for that date input (which is validated server side) can be any of:

• dd/mm/yyyy
• dd-mm-yyyy

Answer 1

There is a simpler solution

if (inputDate.getDate() === todayDate.getDate()) {
   // do stuff
}

like that you don't loose the time attached to inputDate if any
